STEEMCHURCH: DIVINE HABITATION

I bring greetings to you in the name of God Almighty,,,I greet all parishioners @steemchurch and our leader @Sirknight. Trust we all are doing good. Today's topic actually was taken by our Father in the Lord,the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), in person of Pastor E.A Adeboye, his topic was titled Divine habitation, and I so much enjoyed the topic. Before I proceed,I would like to pray the prayers he prayed for us which I claimed with faith and would want you also to do so.

Prayer points

  • Father,let all landlords experience peace in their homes

  • Let all tenants prosper and make them Landlords too. Amen
    Now to my message;

What is Habitation?
Habitation is a place of rest,where you stay to relax and that made me go into the words house and home. Yes,there is difference between house and home and both are building. The only difference between both is determine by what you want to put it in there. You can put things in a home and be rest assured of its safety rather putting in a house that would not give you rest of mind.

2 Samuel 6:11-12

"And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom and all his household.
And it was told king David,saying,The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom,and all that pertaineth unto him,because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

This verse illustrates the life of Obededom when he chose to allow the presence of God into his home,he was blessed beyond measure to the extent that all nations knew about him. David thought the ark is going to kill him and his household but God chose to bless him for what he did.

You can choose to allow God dwell in your home so that you can enjoy divine blessing from God. When He dwells in your home,you will always experience favour everywhere like Obededom,people will start to tap into your lives as King David did because the arm of God is upon you. There are many benefits you will enjoy when God lives in your home.
Note that there is difference between inviting and habitating. A person invited will some day go away but once somebody is inhabitating,the person will stay forever. I pray you will enjoy God's habitation in Jesus name.

The benefits are;

  • Contentment- When God dwells in your home,you will be contented because everything will be available for you

  • Peace- There will be peace in your home,,no quarrel,no arguments over things,all will go smoothly for you

  • Joy- Everlasting joy will be yours because God is in you already. Psalm 16:11 says, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fullness of joy;at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"

  • Security- You don't have to panic when you go out because God is keeping watch over you. The Bible says in Psalm 91:1 that, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty"

How do you make God dwell in your home? It is simple,just prepare an altar to God. He wants praises from us,,when you praise Him everywhere you are,He will make ways for you and come into your home.

Now let me leave you with this story;
There were three fishes in the water,they were so afraid of the big shark and its baby. So oneday they called unto God to come down,,God came down and they made their request known to Him. The first fish told God to give it many eyes round the body so that it can always see the shark when it is coming. The second told God to give it wings to fly whenever the shark is coming. But the third fish only asked for God's presence everywhere it goes. So God gave them what they all wanted.
Then aday came,the shark came and attack,the first fish saw it coming with its many eyes and ran to the other side of the river,soon the water became dried and the fish died. The next day, the shark came again,and the second fish flew with its wings but unfortunately for it,the eagle was up,and quickly grab the fish and ate it. But the third fish was saved because the presence of God went with it everywhere it goes,so the shark and its baby couldn't go near it.

(When God is living in your home,you have joy)

Thanks for reading,,,hope you enjoy the story?
